Strike King pro Andy Montgomery highlights his five top baits for fishing in the southeast during fall.
“When fishing in the southeast, I think about one thing and that’s shad imitating lures,” says Montgomery. During fall, shad are typically migrating toward creeks, coves, and pockets. Montgomery finds a lot of success in the fall with covering water baits, he shares.
Strike King’s Tour Grade Spinnerbait is a top choice for Montgomery on those windy, cloudy days when a little extra flash is needed to draw in a strike.
Strike King’s Thunder Cricket is one of Montgomery’s all-time favorite baits for a few reasons. The Thunder Cricket is most effective when it’s bright and sunny, for target fishing, or even when fishing in the shade, shares Montgomery.
